while reading some of the news this afternoon i came across an article titled the lies about vaccine efficacy are exposed, so scotland stops publishing data, that opened with this statement:.

if the truth hurts your narrative, you must censor it.

but what if your own information harms your own narrative?

The governing body KNEW
by FedUpJW in

2. beliefs
so i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.

it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".

it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

Warning!

no...not a warning from me, rather that is the subject of the "local needs" that i heard was presented via zoom tonight.. beware of apps!

they harped on the idea that only apps approved by the governing body should ever be downloaded or used by jdubs.

they said if they had not been featured in the litterature or specifically recommended by the governing body then jdubs should heed the warning and avoid them.. i guess they are, as we all suspected, very afraid of what the dubs will find out now that they have to use only electronic devices for their "food"..

so i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.

and guess what?

one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.

No more handwashing for JW's
by FedUpJW in
1. social
2. humour
i was watching a program prompted by the covid-19 scare about youngsters in kindergarten and first grade being taught how to properly wash their hands to get rid of germs.

they were told that twenty seconds was needed, and that to time it they should sing the "happy birthday" song twice.. well i guess we all know that jw's will never be able to sing that song, so i guess they will have to teach their kids how to "take a stand for da troof" and tell their teachers they cannot was their hands anymore.. just think of all the 'periences they can cook up about caleb got the corona-virus and was oh so sick, but he took a stand against one of those pagan celebration inspired songs, and his teacher and several classmates all asked for watchtowers and studies.

hahahaha!.

Idiotic Comment

i was just enjoying a you tube video clip of george carlin explaining euphemisms.

one of the ones he commented about is how people try to soften the fact someone is dead by saying, "they passed away.

" noo...they died!.
